It's a pitty I get dizzy with this kind of games but the pie is a lie!

quexd 2014-12-08 03:09

Wow this was amazing.

Just when I was thinking the music was getting repetitive my death message was
"Nice Music
...
Again and again" Great!

taviandir 2014-12-08 03:09

Haha super fun!! :D At first I thought it was gonna be too simple with such low cooldown on spacebar, then I got into phase 2.... I could only manage to get to 35.35 seconds no matter how hard I tried :'(

makatak 2014-12-08 03:10

Really fun mechanic, and unique too! Got to 25 seconds.

coolway99 2014-12-08 03:30

There were a few audio glitches, but other than that amazing entry! Though you should add a bit of a warning when those posts pop up

vekjeft 2014-12-08 03:38

That was crazy fun!!!, too hard for me though. Tough to balance a game, when you only have 48h...

jupitron 2014-12-08 03:41

Hi!
Really awesome game, it collects something from several genres perfectly, it has a unique style.

deft97 2014-12-08 04:14

You're right, I see the screen-cap resemblance.
Nice game, by the way. Surprisingly polished c:

stephenhaney 2014-12-08 04:20

Wow - really great game! Pretty intense, but I improved as I played it more. Couldn't quite get to 2 minutes, but had a blast. 8 hours sleep? It paid off! Great entry!

somfunambulist 2014-12-08 04:26

This is a stellar game! Really genius gameplay mechanics and format!

sharpcoder 2014-12-08 04:59

Wow, awesome game! I like everything about this. The music, the sound effects, the unique gameplay mechanics. Very well done. After many tries, the best I could do was 21 seconds before rage-quitting though :( very challenging!

adrianulima 2014-12-08 05:00

nice game, very hard... my best score was 12.6 xD

daviosmash 2014-12-08 05:37

The music matched the pace of the game so well! I got into a groove with the music and gameplay, very fun! I had just got to thinking, "I got this!" when I died, too. Good job!

von-hunt 2014-12-08 05:37

I generally suck at these games but I can appreciate when their well done, and this, this is well done =D

rabbit 2014-12-08 05:39

oh dude this is so rad. put this on my phone omggggg.

keep working on this! its a really great idea.

A+

igneousmoon 2014-12-08 05:40

Nice! :)
I haven't seen any others like this one so far

ghostbomb 2014-12-08 05:40

Very very cool. Had fun despite the break-neck difficulty.

seraphina 2014-12-08 05:40

This is a lot of fun, and very difficult lol. Good use of the theme too.

doitle 2014-12-08 05:40

Reminds me a lot of Touhou. Very fun and the audio makes it a lot more intense.

scriptorum 2014-12-08 05:48

Very nice rage game :) My best was 62 seconds, I got to hear it say "level 3" before dying. FLIP OFTEN. :)

volkoivan 2014-12-08 05:53

Best game I've seen on a jam so far!
Fun to play, very challenging and addictive, also great music! :)

lynx 2014-12-08 05:55

Wow! This is awesome! I love twitch games with great music!
The flip mechanic is superb! One of those games that makes me think "why didn't I think of that!" ... which is a good this.

One suggestion, maybe make the music start in a different spot ever restart or something (like the game Super Hexagon) so those of us with constant deaths don't just here the same 5 second beginning build up over and over. I want to hear all the awesome pumping music! :D

I just wish I could get past Level 1
Orange looks good on you :)

icedvariables 2014-12-08 10:29

Simple yet effective. I love the voice over and the death screen comments!

insality 2014-12-08 11:15

Thanks you all for comments, its make me so happy :D
Maybe later I will create Mobile version, i hope it!

To Lynx: i think about this, but the music is linked to gameplay, especially in the end ;] U can get the music in source files.

martymon 2014-12-08 12:34

This is the best game I've played in Ludum 31 so far!

tiago-ling 2014-12-08 14:50

Wow, very hardcore indeed! Cool game, there are moments in which it seems impossible to escape, when the cannon is shooting at both sides of the player - my best time so far is 21.3 seconds. Great game, congratulations!

stray 2014-12-08 15:29

WOW. GOodjob man. It's really cool.
but a bit wide.

rougerogue 2014-12-09 12:41

THIS GAME IS AMAZING!! The only thing that I can fault is that, no matter how hard I try, I can't get past level 4... But I shouldn't blame my lack of skill on the game, I guess. After death messages are pretty funny "Like A Dark Souls, yea?". Overall amazing game!

hypnoticbytes 2014-12-09 16:12

Fabulous game!!! 65.29 but I promise to finish it!!!
Best game I've played on LD31 so far!

arcturusdeluxe 2014-12-09 18:00

Excellent game! Difficult, but in that good, maddening way that makes you want to keep trying. I love the mood of the game, with the music and the robotic voice. Cool stuff.

lukezaz 2014-12-10 03:36

Fun game, but a little difficult.

leaghorn 2014-12-10 03:56

way too hard, but cool idea

zillix 2014-12-10 04:25

Very polished and a lot of fun. Great work!

kitch 2014-12-10 04:37

Bullethell... my old nemesis... we meet again... though this time the advantage is mine. I really like you.

Really great job. And I had that opinion 10 games in before I discovered the flip mechanic... Thanks!

simonchauvin 2014-12-10 09:11

Very challenging! Cool game and cool audio :)

codecranker 2014-12-10 23:13

super intense. I just made it to Level 1. Not sure how many more levels are there but surviving level 1 seems quite crazy to me. Nicely done!!

I wanna see a video of someone actually finishing this game because I cant do it :p

igor-kingamer 2014-12-13 13:39

Nice game, really liked the difficulty (and the game itself), and how you can use the flip to train your reflexes and skills: escape while you can, and when you get trapped, just flip :D (of course, aside from when you MUST use it...)
Well, cardinalo defetus, good job! :)

insality 2014-12-15 11:46

@Igor KinGamer, wow, congratulations!! U are amazing ;]
very strong

asobitech 2014-12-16 13:34

Brutal bullet hell, with a nice screen rotate mechanic.

rmc 2014-12-16 19:12

Wow, I got really dizzy, but I had to try to survive more than 30 seconds......But I' Could not hahahaha

very good! Very hard!

calavera 2014-12-18 02:03

very hard, i wish level 0 was shorter. a lot of fun though, i would play it on android.

rantt 2014-12-19 13:07

Fun game, I got to 47:58. The teleport was a cool mechanic. Nice graphics and music, I really enjoyed this. Great job :)

rodobodolfo 2014-12-20 16:51

Amazing!!!
Only last until 0.24... I guess IM LOOSER with no prize :)

toadfrogs 2014-12-21 10:39

'IM LOOSER', just saw this at the game :D
Very addicting game, I like it.

shampop 2014-12-23 17:51

Cool idea ! Pretty hard. But it's fun ! I liked it.

hbocao 2014-12-27 13:02

Damn... it was intense! Too bad I suck at this kind of games haha
Good job!

alwaysinbeta 2014-12-29 14:44

Really good fun even though I suck! Love the audio. Would get this on mobile. I think simplifying the graphics could make it look more polished visually.

pht59x 2014-12-29 16:16

Very dificult but funny. I didn't hear any sound.

paperweight 2014-12-29 16:25

A better implementation of what I was going for with my game. Got the restart time and the insults down "You are princess" typo made me laugh the most however. Good job.

puppetmaster 2014-12-29 16:49

Very cool game!!
Sound effects and background music make the mood!
Love the rocket KI and the robo-voice!!

Very well made!!

banana4life 2014-12-29 17:54

Hard but nice game
